Diamond Baby Quilt

My sweet and talented mother made this lovely quilt for my baby boy. Isn’t it great? What I really love about the pattern she created is that it is completely made with half square triangles just like my herringbone quilts. She used the same technique I explain here to make her squares and then just arranged them in a different way. Her pattern is basically made up of four-square units that form an arrow shape:

These are then twisted to face opposite directions. My mom chose to quilt a quarter inch around the outside and inside of these arrows to form a diamond shape.

She started out with four inch squares that got down to little three inch squares after piecing the whole top.

She chose a tonal navy blue fabric for the backing (which matches the nursery) and used a wide yellow ric rac for the edging.

wow! that&#39;s a really great layout of the HST&#39;s! It creates a great illusion!<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing this at Needle and Thread Thursday!<br /><br />:) Kelly @ My Quilt Infatuation

I have never used ric rac on a quilt before, it looks just gorgeous! Would definitely be interested in knowing how to do this – it doesn&#39;t look like there is traditional binding on the quilt? Lisa @ Sweet Benanna &amp; Sam

I love it! I&#39;ve been obsessed with HST projects lately, and this is so unique. The quilting pattern, while simple, adds so much to the quilt too. And to top it off, I love the colors, especially with the cute polka dot sheets, the cheerful crib skirt, and the great rug. This is one great looking nursery! And, I&#39;m definitely pinning the picture so I remember this quilt in my HST obsession
